L5 increased endothelial CRP expression by up to 2.5-fold more than did L1. (C) L5 treatment (10–100 µg/mL) increased endothelial CRP expression in a dose-dependent manner. (D) ELISA analysis of CRP in the conditioned culture medium (CCM) of HAECs treated with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), L1, or L5. For all experiments, n = 3, and bars shown in graphs represent standard deviation. *<i>P</i><0.05, **<i>P</i><0.01, ***<i>P</i><0.001 vs. PBS or untreated control.</p> 2013-08-08 02:41:45 Biochemistry proteins lipoproteins Lipoprotein receptors Molecular cell biology chromatography cardiovascular atherosclerosis Diagnostic medicine c-reactive blot enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
